What to Expect

Pinot Noir: Responsible for some of the greatest wines on earth - the exhausted red wines of France's Burgundy region. Pinot Noir is a notoriously fickle grape that expresses its origins like no other.

Prophets rock vinyard 2004 Rocky Point Pinot Noir.
At first when I opened this wine it was jumping out of the bottle all I got though was leather and spice, upon tasting leather, spice and acid (so I left it to breath for a while) on second glance great berry character and spicey with some earth chucked in for good measure, quite complex nose.
Tasting
berry,plum and rich ripe dark cherry good acid and great length.

Needless to say this is another great example of Central Otago Pinot Noir still with a few years to go if you can help yourself?
